She had a fairly successful IndyCar career before moving on to NASCAR. Moreover, she did make history by being the first woman to win a race at IndyCar. Since then, a lot of female racing drivers have cited Patrick to be one of their inspirations.
In light of all this, in 2018, Joe Rogan called Danica to be an intense lady during one of his podcast episodes and also spoke about how she has to be intense in her line of work.

Right at the beginning of the podcast, Rogan states, “You are an intense lady, like when I met you, like right away like Woah, yeah gotta take this one in.”
Patrick responded, “well you know it’s the handshake, and then it’s the yeah when someone actually looks you in the eye.”
Then Rogan continues to say, “Well you have to be intense. I mean what you do for a living is probably one of the craziest things a human being can do.”
Patrick then asks him if he thinks so, to which Rogan says, “it’s up there for a job. How fast do you go?”
Patrick replied to that by saying, “uh 200, I mean like NASCAR’s top speed is probably 215 and IndyCars are like 240.”
A year later, Danica went on to have her own podcast titled “pretty intense,” which may or may not be related to this.
